    What do I want for Christmas? Well, winning the lottery would be nice. :D

    But if not that, I'll take a Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" monitor, thanks. :)

    A Red Ryder BB Gun app for my phone. =)

    But I think a 120 GB SSD might do the trick.

    A motherboard/CPU/ram combo would be niccceeee...
    But on the cheaper side, a raid controller card would be nice because software raid sucks...

    A good job, then a Dell UltraSharp U3011 30" monitor provided its as beautiful a display as the big huge 28 or 30" Mac LCDs are.
